Toronto's Tamil Fest is the largest street festival of its kind outside of India

Billed as the “largest Tamil street festival of its kind outside of the Indian subcontinent,” Tamil Fest is back for two full days of festivities in August.

Now in its fourth year, the weekend event will try to out-do last year’s festival which attracted crowds exceeded 200,000 people including an appearance by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
